Are the Dems going to fillabuster the SAVE?

[edhopper]

To require 60 votes for cloture?
or are we fucked?

[mr715]

1. Yes - they better.

If they do not, I'd blame leadership

[SocialDemocrat61]

7. So if Fetterman votes with Republicans

That’s Schumer’s fault?

[mr715]

8. No.

If Democrats do not filibuster the SAVE act, then leadership has failed us.

It appears that, by all accounts, Democrats are going to filibuster.

Clear now?

[SocialDemocrat61]

9. They are not going to filibuster

They will vote no on cloture. And their is only so much that leadership can do to make sure that all or most democrats do that.

[mr715]

15. So back to basics.

They'll filibuster or they won't

If they do, we've won.

If they don't, we've lost.

Any further permutation is a premise to prevarication.

16. They were never going to filibuster

They are not voting for cloture. There is a difference between the two.

[W_HAMILTON]

10. Of course you would, even though fact of the matter is...

...any individual senator is free to initiate a filibuster on their own, as many have done before.

[mr715]

14. So, you are agreeing with me, that we take the bold claim

We, the Democrats, will filibuster.

Please confirm. Mxm. Hamilton.

2. Have you heard something about Schumer & the centrists caving in? I have not. If they do they might cost us the midterms

[edhopper]

3. No

Haven't heard anything, that is why I asked in the he post.

[Celerity]

5. Good! Let's hope they do not cave in.

[maxsolomon]

4. Yes.

Keep the faith.

[crimycarny]

6. I haven't heard anything that would indicate Dems don't plan to filibuster

I also read that many GOP with a large number of rural voters don’t agree with some of the provisions, such as restrictions on mail in voting. They know that will make it much harder for rural voters which are a large part of their base.

[SocialDemocrat61]

11. It's not a fillabuster

It’s voting no on cloture. Two different things.

[edhopper]

12. It's both

[SocialDemocrat61]

13. Not what the article says

It discusses different senate rules to get around cloture.

[fujiyamasan]

17. Fetterman will likely vote for cloture

Who are the other potential Dems they could peel away?
